Are they buyers or sellers?

It's going to be an interesting few weeks.

Yeah, watching tonight's game, sad to say, they should definitely be sellers. Time for a reboot Blue Jays Front Office! :eek:

circular flexing

Mariners off to a hot start after the break - 5-1 so far including a series win over the Astros in Houston. Big series at home against Yankees this weekend - could have WC implications.

They also just acquired David Phelps from the Marlins.

Also check out this inning of defence from Segura

I'm gonna be there for Mariners/Mets in a couple weeks. Visiting Seattle for a bit. Let's go, Mets! My, oh My!

Every divisional leader is on a losing streak.
Means absolutely nothing, and I'm sure it happens loads, but it's the first time I've noticed it, and thinks its kinda cool

Well 4 of those 'streaks' are one game and Cleveland's is 2. Hardly streaks imo.

Haha, yes I might have glorified it a bit much

Just thought it sounded better than all the divisional leaders lost their last game

The NL central has the potential to be an absolute barnstormer for the rest of the year

I can see the Cubs pulling away although Pittsburgh are on a roll of late. I wonder are the Brewrers just in a small slump or do are they done?

St. Louis can't keep giving away stupid games like they did yesterday if they want to get back in it, which was also their 3rd walk off loss in a week!

I dont believe the cubs rotation is good enough to pull away. Pirates are playing well, St Louis man are dark horses, Solid hitting team and rotation and they have some depth in that bull pen. Brewers definitely dont look done to me but Thames has to adjust as the pitchers have adjusted to him.

It's definitely the most interesting division in the NL. dont know why but I have a soft spot for the Pirates.

Whatever about their starters, their bull pen just gave up 9 runs in an inning!

Blue Jays acquire INF Rob Refsnyder from the Yankees for Minor 1B Ryan McBroom

Both Kershaw and Strasburg pulled after 2 innings today. Phantom injuries to give them a little rest or do you think there is something really up?

Neither had given up a run but Strasburg has walked 3.

krustydoyle

Delighted with the Yankees taking a very trappy series in Seattle

TimRiggins

Yu Darvish appears to be on the move to either the Dodgers or Yankees.

Kershaw out for 4-6 weeks (breaking news on fox sports)

That'll probably work out alright then, presuming there are no hiccups.

That'll be mid-September so a couple of starts to get him back into game shape for the playoffs.

Stras has struggled at times this year, forearm stiffness not great but hopefully he doesn't miss much time.

The 7 Line Army are travelling for one of those games too. You should try and get a seat with them if it's the same game you're going to be at if you can.

Igotadose

Thanks. Looks like they'll be at the game Saturday. My plans are to be at the Sunday game. Will see. Should be a good day for it, either way

TimRiggins

Eduardo Nunez to the BoSox. Good trade for them.

jack presley

Strange run scoring triple play in the Yankees Reds game last night.

The Reservoir Dubs Anchorman

Nunez to Boston will help them no doubt, decent player and versatile. They need some help at the moment, slumping badly, similar to the recent Yankee slump.

He'll probably become their everyday 3rd Baseman?

8-10

Depends if Devers stays up or gets sent back down. I reckon he'll stay and they'll platoon

Will definitely platoon with Devers, but Nunez is versatile will play some short stop I imagine too and possibly the outfield on occasion.

The Nats have hit 8 Home Runs today and it's only the 4th inning

Went Back to Back to Back to Back, an out, the another in one inning.

Stroman, Martin and John Gibbons all tossed in the Jays game.

A day old now, but I thought this was great

Lucas Duda gone to the Rays. Some prospect reliever coming back.

Sad to see him go but definitely the right decision to move him

Agreed. May finally bring up Dominic Smith, who seems like less of a power guy but more high-average type. Let's see.

Jay Bruce filling in at 1st. Might see a bunch more movement by the Mets now that the dam has burst a bit. Reed'll probably be gone. I don't think Bruce is going anywhere, it's weird power hitting outfielders just aren't all that popular this season.
